Saturday, April
27th, was not the best of days for outdoor activities, but those who
truly love the outdoors didn't mind.
A number of individuals braved the rains and many got their hands
dirty while observing both Earth Day and Arbor Day doing spring
chores at Lincoln College's Creekside Environmental Learning Center.

It’s July and as with any summer in
central Illinois, the heat and humidity are soaring, and an
occasional thunderstorm rumbles its way across the countryside. What
is the last thing you would expect to think about on a sunny summer
day?
Well, try to imagine a snowy landscape and the roar of snowmobiles
streaking across the empty fields. Yes, snowmobiles! Russell Willis

way to Peoria, has created a unique museum dedicated to his passion
for collecting antique snowmobiles.

The Logan County 4-H Clubs held their
annual International Fest on Monday evening. The 4-H Clubs from
around the county choose a country to research and then present a

Chester with a report on Costa Rica, Cloverdale represented Nepal,
Hollanders spoke about Haiti, and Pioneers took everyone to England.

grim reaper, several Jack-o-Lanterns, skeletons, a black cat, a yard
full of gravestones and cat’s eyes “peering” out from the front
window make it appear that the house is watching you.
